Dainty Davie

    dainty davie
    now rosy may comes in wi' flowers,
    to deck her gay, green-spreading bowers;
    and now comes in the happy hours,
    to wander wi' my davie.
    chorus.—meet me on the warlock knowe,
    dainty davie, dainty davie;
    there i'll spend the day wi' you,
    my ain dear dainty davie.
    the crystal waters round us fa',
    the merry birds are lovers a',
    the scented breezes round us blaw,
    a wandering wi' my davie.
    meet me on, c.
    as purple morning starts the hare,
    to steal upon her early fare,
    then thro' the dews i will repair,
    to meet my faithfu' davie.
    meet me on, c.
    when day, expiring in the west,
    the curtain draws o' nature's rest,
    i flee to his arms i loe' the best,
    and that's my ain dear davie.
    meet me on, c.
